About the author

Charles Haddon Spurgeon (1834-1892) was England's best-known preacher for most of the second half of the nineteenth century. In 1854, just four years after his conversion, Spurgeon, then only 20, became pastor of London's famed New Park Street Church (formerly pastored by the famous Baptist theologian, John Gill). The congregation quickly outgrew their building, moved to Exeter Hall, then to Surrey Music Hall. In these venues, Spurgeon frequently preached to audiences numbering more than 10,000—all in the days before electronic amplification. In 1861, the congregation moved permanently to the newly constructed Metropolitan Tabernacle.

Reviews

What a warm and encouraging collection of sermons from Spurgeon on the cross of Christ:. The chapter on Christs love worth the price of the book on its own.

[Bill Walsh · Rating 5 out of 5]

I have read Spurgeon for years. He is in a class all by himself. I wanted a book on the Cross that addressed both head and heart, and hunted this obscure edition down. The best thing I've found to read devotionally on this topic. I will probably come back to it again in a few years. His writing is so affectional, visual, and poetic; more than anyone else.
